1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the most frequent type of pancreatic cancer with a poor prognosis and resistance to conventional radio- and chemotherapy. Radiation can induce pro-inflammatory signaling by activating the type 1 interferon (IFN-I) response, which can be enhanced by targeting negative regulators of the IFN-I pathway, such as ADP-ribosyltransferase PARP7. Here, we show that PARP7 inhibitors (PARP7i) enhance radiation-induced cell death and promote STING- and NF-κB-dependent immunogenic signaling in PDAC cells, leading to inflammatory gene expression and cytokine release. These effects were most pronounced in BxPC-3 cells, which exhibit higher baseline expression of
